Dynamic retinoscopy is used to objectively determine a patient's refractive error when their accommodation is active. It involves having the patient fixate on a near target while the examiner performs retinoscopy. The direction of the retinoscopic reflex indicates whether the eye is focused in front of, behind, or aligned with the retinoscope. Various methods of dynamic retinoscopy have been developed, including Monocular Estimation Method, Bell retinoscopy, and Nott retinoscopy. Dynamic retinoscopy can reveal a patient's lag of accommodation, or the difference between their accommodative response and the stimulus provided by the near target. A normal lag is between +0.50D to +0.75D.

Optics of Retinoscope by Dr. Muhammad Zeeshan Hameed.pptxZeeshan Hameed
Includes
1. What is a Retinoscope?
2. Short History of Retinoscope
3. Parts of a Retinoscope
4. Detailed Optics of a Retinoscope
5. Practical Points of Retinoscopy
This presentation is mainly focused on progressive addition lenses along with the brief description of single vision reading lenses ,bifocal and trifocals which are the other options available for the management of presbyopia. It also include a short description on the fitting of the PAL. PAL is the most used option worldwide for the management of presbyopia .PAL is also used in the management of progressive myopia and the studies shows it is more effective than the bifocal lenses. PAL are more effective in myopia management when the myopia comes along with the near esophoria and accommodation lag. In this modern century personalised progressive lenses are the most effective in matching the need of the patients.

CDSCO and Phamacovigilance {Regulatory body in India}NEHA GUPTA
The Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) is India's national regulatory body for pharmaceuticals and medical devices. Operating under the Directorate General of Health Services, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India, the CDSCO is responsible for approving new drugs, conducting clinical trials, setting standards for drugs, controlling the quality of imported drugs, and coordinating the activities of State Drug Control Organizations by providing expert advice.
Pharmacovigilance, on the other hand, is the science and activities related to the detection, assessment, understanding, and prevention of adverse effects or any other drug-related problems. The primary aim of pharmacovigilance is to ensure the safety and efficacy of medicines, thereby protecting public health.
In India, pharmacovigilance activities are monitored by the Pharmacovigilance Programme of India (PvPI), which works closely with CDSCO to collect, analyze, and act upon data regarding adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Together, they play a critical role in ensuring that the benefits of drugs outweigh their risks, maintaining high standards of patient safety, and promoting the rational use of medicines.
2. What is retinoscope ?
Is an instrument used to determine the refractive error
Is an objective method
What is retinoscopy ?
The purpose of retinoscopy is to obtain an objective
measurement of patient’s refractive state
it is based on the fact that when the light is reflected from a
mirror into the eye, the direction in which the light will travel
across the pupil will depend upon the refractive state of the
eye
3. Types of retinoscopy
static retinoscopy: the patient is looking at a
distance object, with accommodation relaxed
Dynamic retinoscopy: the patient is looking at a
near object ,with accommodation active
near retinoscopy: the patients is looking at a near
object, with accommodation relaxed
4. Dynamic retinoscopy
Objectively determines the point that is conjugate to
the retina when the pt. is viewing a particular target
NO WORKING DISTANCE POWER IS ADDED OR
SUBSTRACTED FROM THE FINDING
5. Movements
same as that of static retinoscopy
With movement : eye conjugate to a point either
behind the eye or behind the retinoscope.
Against movement : eye conjugate to a point
between the eye (patient’s) and retinoscope.
Neutrality : eye conjugate with retinoscope
6. History
early 1900s, various investigators began utilizing the
retinoscope to determine the amplitude or status of
accommodation in non-verbal patients - term dynamic
retinoscope emerged
A.J. Cross is credited with introducing the basic theory
and method for dynamic retinoscopy
Sheard, Nott, and Skeffington - elaborated on the
theory and procedure
7. Goals
to determine accommodative Response
also helped to determine the most appropriate near
prescription with testing conditions
Reveals the degree to which accommodation is
fluctuating when attending to a near target & if the
eyes are balanced equally at near
provide the information and insights regarding the
patient’s abilities and level of visual processing at the
chosen distance
8. Accomodation
Accomodative stimulus is defined by the near target
stimulus
Because of depth of focus and depth of field the
accommodative response is generally less than the
stimulus
Near point is usually located around 10-17cm
beyond near target at 40cm
9. Accommodation
Accomodative demand is provided by the target
distance as well as the refractive error
Over minus or under plussed: has extra accommodative
demand required to see target clearly
Under minused :does not have to accommodate as
much
10. Accommodation
Accommodative response is a measure of the actual
accommodation that is present
If your accommodative system likes to “hang out”
Right on the target accommodative
response = stimulus
In front of the target accommodative
response >stimulus (i.e. accommodative lead)
Behind the target accommodative
response< stimulus ( i.e.accommodative lag)
11. Types of dynamic retinoscopy
Monocular Estimation Method (MEM)
Nott retinoscopy
Bell retinoscopy
12. MEM (monocular estimated method)
Founder Dr. Harold Haynes
Clinician neutralize the reflex of the eye while patient
accommodates to fixate a target placed at the
patient’s customary reading distance (usually at 40cm)
13. Materials
series of cards with a central aperture mounted on
a retinoscope
cards can have printed letters, or words, or pictures
that range in size from 20/160 (6/120) to 20/30 (6/9)
Arranged around the aperture
14.
15. Procedures
instructed to keep the targets clear
sweeps the retinoscope beam
observes the motion of the retinoscopic reflex
quickly interposes a trial lens at the spectacle plane
16. Interpretation
“lag of accommodation” is the amount of plus lens
that neutralizes the reflex
has been found to accurately measure the lag of
accommodation in an objective manner
Example
If the retinoscopic reflex is neutralized by +1.75D then
lag is
ADD = +1.75 – (+0.75)
= +1.00
17. Limitation
Plus lenses – relaxation of accommodation –
accommodative response measured by this value
found to be 10% less
No longer than one fifth of a second
18. Bell retinoscopy
Developed by Drs. W.R. Henry and R.J. Appel
Evaluate the performance of the accommodative
system under moving & real life conditions in free space
cognitive demand is low
term “Bell” is used because the procedure was done
originally using a cat-bell suspended on a string.
19. Materials
Three dimensional viewing target
a small, highly reflective bell dangling from String –
replaced with a Wolff Wand(½ inch diameter, metal
ball mounted on the end of a rod)
20. Procedures
wand is held by the examiner
moved closer to and farther from the patient -
slower than 2 inches/sec
retinoscope is positioned at a fixed distance of 50
cm (20 inches)
patient fixates the target and the examiner notes the
direction of the reflex
21. Contd
target is moved closer to the patient there will be a
point where the motion changes from “with”
to“against’’
Target is again moved away from patient until with
motion is observed
22. Interpretation
The two measurements are recorded as a fraction e.g.
30/40 (meaning that the inward change from “with”
to “against” occurred at 30cm and the outward
change from “against” to “with” occurred at 40cm.
The expected values for Bell retinoscopy are: Inward
shift at 42.5 to 35cm and outward shift at 37.5 to
45cm.
If the lag of accommodation does not fall within
these ranges, the procedure is repeated with plus
lenses. Lenses which normalize these ranges are
considered an acceptable nearpoint prescription.
23. Contd
eye movement control can be assessed by judging
the extent to which the ball can be fixated
eye-hand coordination can be evaluated by asking
the patient to touch the Wolff Ball during the
procedure
NPC can be determined by the normal means
limitation
patient converges - scoping more off axis
24. Nott’s retinoscopy
developed by I. S. Nott in the 1920s
main purpose is identical to the MEM method
cognitive demand is moderate
26. Procedures
Patient wearing their best correction is instructed to
view a detailed and high contrast target placed on
the retinoscope
Retinoscopic reflex is examined from the plane of
target and retinoscope is moved closer or farther
away from the target until neutrality is achieved
27. Interpretation
Dioptric difference between these two distances
equals the lag of accommodation
Example
Distance from the target to spectacle plane = 40cm
Distance from retinoscope to spectacle plane = 50cm
Lag of accommodation = +2.50D – 2.00D
= +0.50D
28. Book retinoscopy
Also known as getman retinoscopy.
Developed at gesell institute of child
development at yale university.
Develop to obtain information about
the visual processing of nonverbal
infants .
Cognitive demand is high.
29. Getman and kephart described the following
response levels with this technique.
A. free reading level : Desirable , reflex varies from
neutral to with
B. Instructional level : more demanding than the free
reading level , reflex is a varying fast against motion. •
C. Frustration level : Even though the subject is
“focused” on the page he is not interpreting the
information properly slow against motion
Reflex color is bright and white when the words are
understood.
30. Contd
Reflex color is more pink and dims slightly if the
patient is struggling to comprehend a word or
passage.
Reflex color is dull and brick colored when the patient
has given up on comprehending a word or reading
passage.
31. Cross retinoscopy
Andrew J. Cross (1911) •
Start with static retinoscopy finding .
Patient made to view target at 40cm .
Examiner performs retinoscopy adding plus lens till
neutrality.
A alternative to cycloplegic refraction
Method of adding plus lens power to obtain a
reversal
32. Determining the correction in cases of
Astigmatism
Presbyopia
Subnormal accommodation in young patients
33. Limitation
A measurement of negative relative accommodation
Plus power recommended – patient would not persist
34. Sheard’s method
Charles Sheard (1920)
Introduced the concept of “ Lag of accommodation”
add plus lens power until neutrality occurred
35. Tait’s method
Tait(1953)
Working distance = 33cm
Fogging with a considerable amount of plus lens
power and then approaches neutral by reducing the
plus lens power
Found an average of approximately +1.50 D more
than sheard system , thus total lag of accommodation
= +2.25 D
Close to +2.50D i.e Negative relative accommodation.
36. low neutral and high neutral methods
Sheard ( low neutral method)
The end point is the least plus power required for a
neutral reflex to be observed.
Cross ( high neutral method)
Addition of plus power beyond neutrality until a
reversal occurs.
37. Stress point retinoscopy
developed by Harmon and Kraskin
evaluate the response of the entire organism to stress
in stress-point retnoscopy - looking at the change in
reflex quality
Cognitive demand is moderate to high
38. reasoning behind stress-point retinoscopy is that
vision is intimately related to the whole body and
that a physiological change in stress occurring in the
body can be perceived through a change in the
retinal reflex
Three things occur when near-point stress is
experienced
Firstly - there is a change in the individual's pulse
Secondly - there is an inner canthal twitch and
lastly - change in the colour of the retinal reflex is
observed
39. Procedures
Wolff ball is moved closer to the patient - looks at
which distance the reflex "pops"
initially brightened and then became dull and finally
brightened again - termed "popping" of the reflex -
about 4 inches in front of the patient
distance is noted and then different lenses are placed
binocularly and the procedure is repeated
40. ideal lens is the one which makes the stress point as
close to the subject as possible
more desirable to have the stress-point closer to the
patient - they are not working under physiological
stress
For example; if the stress-point of a subject is 40cm
and they habitually read at 30cm they would be under
constant near-point stress
41. plus lenses move the stress-point
closer to the subject and minus lenses
move it away
in children the stress-point should be
10cm closer to the subject than the
Harmon distance.
In adults, the stress point is 20 to
22.5cms from face.
42. Near retinoscopy by mohindra
Near retinoscopy by mohindra in 1977.
For use in determining the refractive state of infants
and children
The stimulus or fixation is the dimmed light source
of the retinoscope in a darkened room.
The retinoscope is held at a distance of 50 cm with
hand-held trial lenses.
43. Near retinoscopy differs from other forms of dynamic
retinoscopy in the following ways:
1. it is performed in complete darkness , the only
illumination in the room is supplied by retinoscope
with child fixating at retinoscope light .
2. It is monocular procedure that is eye not being
examined is occluded.
3. The adjustment factor of -1.25 D is algebrically
combined with the spherical component of the gross
sphero - cylindrical lens powers.
45. Lag of accommodation
Time lapse between the presentation of an
accommodative stimulus and occurrence of the
accommodative response
Average time
- Far to near accommodation is 0.64 seconds
- Near to far accommodation is 0.56 seconds
46. Lag of accommodation
Accommodative lag = accommodative demand (
+2.50D at 40 cm) – accommodative response
Lags are greater when closer test distances are used
Lag of accommodation exhibits a slow but
progressive increase to adult levels
Binocular accommodative system normally respond
with only +1.75D to +2.00D of increased plus power
47. Normal Lag: +0.50 or +0.75 diopters
High Lag: +1.00 diopters or higher
Lead : +0.25 diopters or less
48. Lag > +0.75D/ High Lag
Inadequate accommodative response:-
as a result of :- near esophoria
poor negative vergences
accommodative insufficiency
uncorrected hyperopia
Patient is Overminused
49. Low Lag /lead of accommodation <
+0.50
Overaccommodating
As a result of :- near exophoria
spasm of accommodation
Over Plus Correction
inadequate positive vergences
50.
51. Source of error
Same as those with static: scissors, small pupils,
dim media (cataracts, etc.), angle
More sensitive to physical arrangement for the
measurement (distance, lens adaptation),
instructions given and patient’s cooperation
Changes in patient’s fixation or accommodative level
(often related to failure to understand task or to
cooperate)
52. Patient looking at a target at a different distance
than requested
A +0.50 to +0.75 lag is not normal if not testing
at 40cm
Lag increases as fixation distance is reduced
Adaptation to lenses with MEM: relaxes with plus
lenses, stimulates with minus lenses
